Non Delivery Reports

Each NDR provides a 3-digit status notification code that defines the failure in detail. Each of these three digits provides information about the failure itself and can be translated as follows:

2.x.x > successful transfer
4.x.x > persistent failure
5.x.x > permanent failure
